Guest guest Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I know most of you don't like to hear about the brain, you like to sleep with immaterial teddy bears like Consciousness, or Mind. It's OK! Those are nice, like music is sort of immaterial, ethereal, nice, but let's not forget that it comes from a guitar. Well, let me get to the point, and tell you about the mirror neurons, a recent discovery from Italy. Yes, Italy, they have neurologists there, they are not all cooks experimenting with new pasta shapes. I love Italy! I have been there twice. Had a ball, several in fact, meatballs of course, with spaghetti. Back to the mirror neurons, it seems that the same part of the brain that is involved in doing something, gets activated when you see someone doing something. This center is highly developed in primates, and it's crucial in human learning. But the most important implication here, is that you really have the capacity to become what you see. So it's understandable that being in the presence of someone like Ramana, or Nisargadatta could rub on you. The transmission of mind with mind, monkey see, monkey do. Not everyone, that is obvious, and not for long when it happens, it wears off. But in some cases when the mirror is ready, immaculate, and empty: Wham! You become what you see!

This is not one of my teddy bears. All things, including brain, arise within consciousness.

This center is highly developed in primates, and it's crucial in human learning. But the most important implication here, is that you really have the capacity to become what you see. What I 'see' is that what we see arises from what we become. More beterrer: perception arises from consciousness. The perception of mirroring neurons, then, becomes a wonderfully inventive creation of consciousness rather than an objective discovery.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 If you like it or not and if it doesn't fit in your romantic spiritual ideas about consciousness, but neurology already since longer knows where the conscious part of the brain are. If those parts of the brain are damaged then you are blind or don't hear or smell etc. And then no onger objects are arising in consciousness, included teddy bears.
